Neren can also be heard Fridays on KFAN100.3 and weekends on Cities 97.1.

“I am honored to lead this team,” said Neren. “While we have loved finding new and creative ways to bring our listeners, advertisers and artists together virtually, we are looking forward to our events being live and in person once again.”
